I am just so incredibly depressed about the whole thing. I wonder how bad things will get before people wake up.

The scariest statistic though, is that 24% of Republicans believe that Obama is the antichrist.

*Hangs Head* I have to admit, when I found out W was OK with torture, I kept wondering when he was going to sprout a tail and start wearing a little cape.

I find the other numbers much more disturbing. 40% of Americans have no idea of what Socialism is, and 25% prefer to believe lies spewed by Faux Newz and other wing-nuts to clear and documented facts about the President's birthplace. Don't even get me started on the glaring inability to apply the most basic of logic to the 32% who think he's Muslim while at the same time blasting him for attending Rev. Wright's Christian church.
This country needs a serious overhaul of it's educational system. Oh, wait, education is elitist. Sorry, my bad.

How did anyone get out of Jr. High not knowing what socialism is. SCREAM.
It is incredibly concerning how little people learned in school. Basic stuff.
